WHAT ARE LUMENS? Lumens explained
In times of LEDs, power consumption, i.e. the wattage of a light source, no longer provides information about brightness. How much brightness a bulb produces with how many watts depends very much on the product. A reliable value is a lumen!
WHAT IS LUMEN?
Luminous flux, measured in lumens (lm), refers to the amount of light emitted by a light source, which determines its brightness. In the past, people used to associate the brightness of light bulbs with their wattage, but this is no longer a reliable measure with the advent of modern lighting technologies like LEDs. The relationship between watts and lumens is no longer consistent, making lumens a more accurate way to gauge the brightness of a light source.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE LUMEN SPECIFICATIONS?
The luminous flux, measured in lumens, is typically indicated on the packaging of all bulbs. In addition, a comparative value may be provided to help buyers compare the brightness of a bulb with that of a traditional incandescent bulb. These values can be found on the Lights.co.uk online shop, which offers a variety of lighting solutions to meet your needs.

HOW DO I COMPARE LUMENS AND WATTS?
Today, light sources are compared based on lumens. If you want to compare LEDs with the wattage of incandescent bulbs, you can use the table below:
100 Watt = 1521 Lumen
75 Watt = 1055 Lumen
60 Watt = 806 Lumen
40 Watt = 470 Lumen
25 Watt = 249 Lumen
New light sources such as energy-saving light bulbs or LEDs produce the same brightness with fewer watts - the luminous efficacy is higher. But the ratio is very product-dependent.

HOW DO I CONVERT TO LED?
Lighting you have grown fond of operated with incandescent bulbs, halogen, or energy-saving bulbs can easily be equipped with a suitable LED light source. LED bulbs have the same bases as conventional bulbs, e.g. E27 or G9.
